Where the Wild Things Are

With summer drawing to a close, I decided I needed an outing with the grandkids. So the cute and cuddlies and I headed for where the wild things hang out. Wait! I have that backwards. The wild things and I went to visit the cute and cuddlies. Turns out, there has been a lot of cuddlin' going on at the Zoo. Witness the three Amur tiger cubs, the baby elephant and the baby giraffe. The tigers and elephant were not available to visit as they are still "bonding" with their mumsies, but we did see the baby giraffe. How cute is that?


There is also an amazing bird show at our Zoo. Huge falcons and the like fly so low you literally have to duck to avoid collision. No lie! Afterwards, Scott got his photo taken with the bald eagle. Those birds of prey are really majestic.
The kids had lots of fun on the carousel, the train and at the playground. Scott also twisted my arm for the BIG bag of kettle corn. He "promised" he could eat it all and after about five hours, he did.

Dancing With The Hugh

All this because two people fell in love...

Check out the progression of these three photos. It is difficult to believe that we have mushroomed in 19 short years to this cool group of kids and children. Hugh and I started out with two plus nine. Now we are 37 with two more on the way. Six years have passed since our last group photo, and we have added 16 to the family in that time period. Lots of hard work and love is represented here. We are so proud. (Can you tell?)
